Background Checks: Bad for Candidates

12:00 PM EDT on October 20, 2010

 Yesterday, The Oklahoman published the results of background checks they performed on every candidate running for state or federal office this year.  By background check, I mean they searched each candidates name on the Oklahoma Supreme Court Network website, then requested a comment from any candidate whose legal troubles consisted of anything remotely scandalous.  Since, in the end, democrats looked worse then republicans, they didn't spike the story.

The results were fairly awesome--especially considering the source.
